What's everyone doing to prepare for the exam? Vocab learning? Grammar? Techniques for translation?

Vocab and grammar, and translation practice is all you can do really. I've done all the past translations though so I don't know what else to do :s
Looking over vocab, memorising general essay phrases, thinking about the possible themes for the essay, final bit of grammar revision.

Yeah went alright, my examiner was really nice and asked good questions, would rather have had social integration speaking card but was happy enough with publicity, how about you?

I don't really have any tips but try the AQA ones for practice too! They really helped me, seen as they're the same level and topics. :biggrin:
